Ok get this. The Liberal party of Australia has been registering domain names and setting up their internal database using the name "Hermes Endakis" - the villain from 90s childrens show Ship to Shore.

Twitter user @ellipsil was able to uncover the totally bizarre alias after it was revealed yesterday the Liberal party's internal database is named "Jeparit Town" for the birthplace of Sir Robert Menzies.

It turns out the person registering the "Jeparit Town" database goes by the name Hermes Endakis, aka the bumbling security guard who was always being out-run by pesky kids on Ship to Shore.

The Hermes Endakis email address also registered dozens of political domains including abbottfacts.com, joehockeyrecord.net and an absurd number of addresses related to dumped defence minister Kevin Andrews.

It turns out the party has been sitting on a bunch of domains for Andrews, including kevinandrewsfacts.com and kevinandrewsrecord.net, which will only raise more eyebrows about the leadership ambitions of the right-wing warrior.

But @ellipsii's digging revealed that the Liberal party also was actively undermining its leader Malcolm Turnbull back in 2009.

Then there's the domain registered subsforsa.com, which is obviously a reference to whether the next generation of submarines will be built in South Australia.

The Liberal party set up the address at the start of last year with South Australian MPs lobbying vigorously to have the 12 submarines built in their home state. The $50 billion defence spend has become a key election issue.

So either the party set-up subsforsa.com because it would be part of the election campaign, OR more sneakily, they've got it so Labor can't have it. The address is registered through till 2017.

Finally it turns out that one month after Tony Abbott was dumped as prime minister, federal Liberal party director Brian Loughnane registered the domain name credlin.com.
